My mom just called me, and offered me a gig as a General Manager. She works for a company called AmeriHost. She says that its a great company to work for. Its a property in Sycamore IL. Mom says the pay is 25,000. And I really am kind of afraid. I have never been in charge of employees. I to be honest have a bad time with fellow employees anyway.

I have a few problems about this. One, I don’t know anything about this company called AmeriHost. Its been my opinion that all of the companies that have owned the HI have all started like they are the greatest thing on the face of the planet. Not to many of them turned out that way in the long run. Two, its to damned far away. I don’t want to drive to work that long distance every day.

The third problem is that it just shows that my mom just doesn’t know me at all. I can honestly say I am not GM material. And know that we got a top manager reading this page, I’m sure he can back me on this. And as much as I bash our GM, I admire that he has the balls to do it. That could be another reason why I wouldn’t take this job. I have seen the kind of hoops our GM has had to jump through for our owners. I couldn’t do it.

Hello again dear employees. I have been meaning to post a bit of fan mail that I have gotten. I couldn’t figure out how to get my mail, but Turk was kind enough to tell me how. So with out further ado, I give you my first fan mail:

dear g man

I would like to congratulate you on the timeliness of your letters being posted on the net, to bad i can not say the same for your evaluations to employee’s. Let us not even bring up raises. Now I know you do not feel employee’s have the right or even the ability to think, but amazingly enough, to day while shoveling coal into the boilers during my 15hr shift a thought came to me. There may be a cost savings to the hotel if we up dated our heating system to a natural gas system, that way we would not have to pay me to shovel coal all day and I may have time to code my bosses invoices for Paula. I know this is a little radical, to go from the 1800’s right into the 1950’s but I just thought i would bring this idea to your attention. I know I am not worthy to be granted such excessive amounts of time off in a day, but you should be happy that on my time off I spend some of my time trying to keep up on the goings on at the hotel.

Your Groveling Employee

Guido

So there you have it my dear employees. I am a little disappointed that more have not sent me feedback on my letters. Please send all e-mail to me at gman@hotelblues.com.
